Name: Nam-Gi Woon Age: 16 Sex: M Profession: Student Location: Outer Hives Affiliations: Open Thought School 379 Disposition: Optimistic for the future
Character Background and Description Nam-Gi 15, lives with his father Hyun-Tae and mother Ji-Ae Woon in the south western hive complex. He spends the majority of his time at the private school in Open Thought’s headquarters in Neo-Seoul. His parents work three floors below the school as janitors.
Life for Nam-Gi has on the whole improved since he was younger, nine years ago Nam-Gi can remember a time when his parents brought food home less often, when his family worked for a different company for less pay. Back then, the Woon family couldn’t afford to send him to daycare, and instead had him perform data-entry in the evenings to keep up with the cost of living in one of the draftier apartments in old-town.
When the apartment was torn down, to be replaced with the new concrete tubes, Nam-Gi was upset. They had torn down his home! But after a year of living in the newer, more compact concrete tube he found his new lodgings warmer and more comfortable and on top of that, cheap enough for his parents to be able to send him to school!
Now, Nam-Gi feels like a regular kid. He does his best in school, but finds it difficult to concentrate on any tasks that don’t directly involve typing at a keyboard. His parents push him to constantly try to better himself, to become an engineer like the people they work for. But Nam-Gi feels compelled to write instead, spending hours of free time writing stories with his friends and in trying to convert his written words into Brainstorm ‘experiences’.
Despite the thrum of technology and rise of more pedestrian organized religion, Korea still exists within the sphere of influence of Confucian philosophy.
Built 20 years ago in an effort to instill more traditional values into the future youth, the Hall of Excellent Achievement serves as a place of worship, a place of study, and a museum of Korean historical artifacts. The 7 story terraced building takes up almost two city blocks and is surrounded by a lush garden filled with multiple ponds of fish and rock gardens.
For the youth of Neo-Seoul the vast libraries and banks of computers and Brainstorm terminals within are a perfect meeting place after school, as well as a relaxing way to spend an afternoon. It also is a common sight to come upon groups of students studying intensely for their placement examinations.
The Hall of Excellent Achievement also provides after-school jobs for local students in the form of janitorial and library positions. What better way to ensure mindfulness than by having friends chew each other out for littering.
